Austin
Austin got its first commuter rail line in March 2010, when the Capital MetroRail Red Line opened, nearly two years behind schedule, running from Leander in the northern suburbs into downtown. In the years since, the line has steadily improved. A new permanent downtown station opened in 2020, and in February 2024 McKalla station opened next to Q2 Stadium, home of Austin FC, with extra trains on match days. A new light rail system, Project Connect, is being planned for the 2030s.
